Preparing to use the gage / Changing the battery For the initial use the batteries provided have to be inserted. To open the battery cover 10 loosen the screws 11 by using the screwdriver provided and insert the batteries (2x AAA). Close the battery cover 10 after changing the batteries and tighten the screws 11.
General advice on measuring with the caliper gage Please be careful with the measuring contacts (3+4) and the movable operating lever 5 and try to manage the gage in measuring position without touching the workpiece. Hold the gage loose during measurement and release the operating lever 5. To determine the correct measuring value, please pivot or displace the gage and read from the display the minimum or maximum deflection of the pointer.
Handling for dynamic measurements. Notes on determining the correct measured values in the MIN / MAX / HOLD programs Important: Determination of the minimum measuring value via The measuring axis must pivoting the gage (optimal measurement) be in vertical position to the measuring surface!

Program: Absolut/Relativ, MIN/MAX/HOLD Initial State. The initial state is a prerequisite for the functioning of all the programs and setting options described. Absolute and Relative Mode. Switching from "Absolute Mode" to "Relative Mode" If the „Absolute - Mode“ is activated measurements will be made with reference to the zero point.
Program Tolerance (TOL) Aktiviation and Deaktivation the Tolerance function The TOL-Program is an assistance for checking tolerances during measurements. Tolerance field marks 19 and the tolerance display, LED signal (red/green) 18 are activated. The red LED lights up for parts exceeding or falling below the tolerance range (rejected parts). The green LED lights up for parts within the tolerance (good part).
